Pregnancy, early testing
tir, 29/11/2011 - 09:41
Hi,
I had sex with a girl two weeks ago and a few days ago she found out that she is pregnant. So I am wondering if there is a slight chance for me to be the father.
We had sex 2 times (13th and 14th November) and we have used condoms. On the 13th, I had a wank in the morning in the bed before having sex with the girl on the night. And after the night there was a bit of blood in the bed. After that she had again little blood but not much. I don/'t think I even came in the condoms but I did not check.
She found she was pregnant on the 23rd Nov. and she said that she did not have sex after her last period. But she was not using condoms with her last boyfriend.

Thank you for your question.
Pregnancy tests vary in quality, and sometimes can give a false positive result. Therefore it is advisable to check again using a different kit, or consult a doctor. You might ask your partner about her menstrual cycle. An ovulation occurs usually about 14 days after the first day of menstruation. If she had her last menstruation about the 1st of November, most likely she would have an ovulation about 14 days later, at which time she would be highly fertile. That being said, nature is fickle, and it is possible become pregnant any day in the menstrual cycle.
The blood on the bed may have a number of causes, from rough sex to implantation bleeding/"streaking" ( implantation of a fertilised egg in the uterine lining a week or two after fertilisation). Again, ascertaining the recent history of your partner’s menstrual cycle would be useful.
After an ejaculation the next ejaculation will normally have a lower amount of sperm cells, yet most of the cells will be able to fertilize an ovum.
Condoms provide protection against pregnancy about 97% of the time, so the probability of a pregnancy is small, but cannot be ruled out.
I hope this is useful and I wish you the best of luck.
Kind regards,
